Happy New Year with Topflight Stamps!

Hello I'm back again for Topflight Stamps! This week the designers are focusing on the new year. I created another New Year's card:

Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps

The AALL & Create Studded Stars stencil is perfect for creating a festive New Years background. I applied texture paste through the stencil to black cardstock and then sprinkled gold embossing powder over it. When it dried, I heat embossed. Then I just added the sentiment (from Go To Christmas Words) in the middle. I also splattered it with silver Glimmer Mist for some extra shine.

Favorite Eileen Hull Projects of 2024

The year has sure flown on by! It's become a tradition that Eileen Hull's designers pick their top three favorite projects from the year. (This is always hard ha ha.) So, without further ado, here are mine…

First we have the "Four Seasons" Mini Book Box created in March. It uses the Storage Box Die and holds four themed Mini Books:

Next is a project created in June – the painterly blooms notebook. This used Eileen's June product release, the Notebook DieWatercolor Flowers & Lattice Layered Stencil Set and Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits Die Set. You can find the tutorial here.

Lastly is this stitched album I created in October. I used the Mini Album Die to cut the cover base and then sewed a variety of wool scraps, trims, notions and buttons on it. It was loads of fun to make!

Robot Cats, Mixed Media and Birthday Cards with Topflight Stamps

Hello, I have a Topflight Stamps card for you! This week's brand focus is on Katzelkraft. I used the Katzelkraft stamp sets Holiday QuotesRobot Cat and Electrical Circuit to make a birthday card for my husband. 

Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps

I stamped 
Electrical Circuit on a gel print background with embossing ink, then embossed with WOW! Sea Salt embossing powder. The Robot Cat I stamped on other paper, painted it with watercolors and then fussy cut it out. It's popped up on a mini wobbler so it has some fun "action" when you shake the card.
